Webinar 1: The Blue Light Approach – origins and lessons learned

It’s been ten years since the launch of the Blue Light Approach - Alcohol Change UK’s pioneering response to people with severe alcohol dependence who are often seen as 'treatment resistant'.

In this first of three anniversary webinars, Mike Ward and Mark Holmes, co-authors of the original Blue Light manual, explore how the project began, why it was needed, and what’s been learned over a decade of practice.

We’ll cover:

• The origins of the Blue Light concept
• Who the approach was designed to support
• Key turning points and lessons learned
• How partnership and persistence transformed outcomes

This session sets the scene for the release of the new Blue Light manual - updated for today’s challenges and opportunities. Whether you’re new to the concept or part of a long-standing Blue Light partnership, we'd love you to come along to this webinar.
